My Favorite Things

A few of my favorite ingredients, and why I love them!

Flaxseed (Ground)
Flaxseeds are a vegan's best friend. Not only do they provide a complete daily supply of ALA Omega 3's (in a 1/4 cup serving), but they are also the ideal egg substitute for recipes of all kinds. Flaxseeds have a nice, nutty flavor that can add depth and substance to any recipe.

Oatmeal
I love oatmeal. All kinds of oatmeal. I always have an abundant supply of oats on hand...from steel cut, to old-fashioned, to oat flour--I absolutely adore my oats. They are great for breakfast, in baked goods, in smoothies, you name it. So versatile and nice and cheap.

Protein Powder
I like to add protein powder to my morning (and afternoon!) smoothies. I think it adds a nice flavor, as well as providing a good percent of daily protein needs. The trick is finding one that is what I like to call "triple threat protein powder": vegan (of course), no added gunk (aka clean ingredients), and budget-friendly (for the most part...PP's are not cheap!). I've tried quite a few and my favorites are listed below.--Jarrow Naturals Organic Brown Rice Protein Powder, Vanilla or Mixed Berry Flavor; --Vega Vanilla Smoothie; --Garden of Life RAW protein; --NutriBiotic Vanilla Protein; --Hemp Protein (any brand is fine, just be sure the only ingredient is 100% hemp protein)--Natural Factors Vegan Protein Powders

Fruits and Veggies...ALL KINDS!
This one kind of goes without saying...but buy your veggies people! I do my best to buy seasonally as much as I can,
but I do use frozen fruits and veggies when I must.

Nuts, Seeds, and Nut Butters While I AM a HCLFV (see my "About Me" page for my story!), I do like to keep my fave nuts and seeds in my pantry, mainly for flavor, a little crunchy something on top of a NoGurt Bowl, or for those times I just want some pistachios (or the like...) SO BAD that I'm willing to suffer the migraine later and I just eat them (it happens...). However, even on the times I DO give in to my craving, I make sure to limit myself--the headaches aren't TOO severe if I only eat a very little bit. And usually, that's all it takes to kick the craving.
